SUMMARY:Snapology Winter Vacation Program: Science of Superpowers & Mega Machines Robotics
DESCRIPTION: Morning Session: Science of Superpowers\nBring your favorite superheroes to life while discovering the science behind their incredible powers!\nStudents will explore the fascinating world of forces\, energy\, and physics through hands-on building and fun experiments. They’ll design superhero models\, vehicles\, and accessories inspired by heroes like Superman\, Batman\, and Wonder Woman — all while learning about: \nFlight forces\, collisions\, and air pressure \nGravity\, friction\, and energy transfer \nScientific experimentation and problem-solving \nChildren will compare the “super” world to real-life science as they test\, experiment\, and think critically. It’s a super-powered way to make learning physics fun! \n Afternoon Session: Mega Machines Robotics\nIn the afternoon\, young engineers will take their skills to the next level with Mega Machines Robotics\, a machinery-focused program where creativity meets coding. Students will work in teams to design and program spectacular robotic vehicles using LEGO® robotics kits and Scratch-based coding. \nThrough exciting challenges\, they’ll learn how to: \nProgram and debug robotic models \nUtilize sensors\, gears\, motors\, and axles \nCollaborate effectively with partners \nFollow instructions and refine builds through iteration \nBy the end of the week\, students will not only have built amazing machines but also gained confidence in coding\, problem-solving\, and teamwork — all while having a blast! \nChildren can register for: \nMorning sessions only: Science of Superpowers\, ages 5-12\, 9am-12:00pm\, $200/participant. Click HERE to register for the morning program. \nAfternoon sessions only: Mega Machines Robotics\, ages 6-12\, 12:30-3:30pm\, $200/participant.

The organization’s goal is to provide children’s enrichment with STEAM learning programs that engage kids 4-14 years old with fun\, hands-on activities to teach science\, technology\, engineering\, art and math. While children are exploring robotics\, coding and design challenges using LEGO® bricks\, K’Nex\, and technology\, they’re building skills that will help them throughout school and their careers. To kids\, it’s just fun!  \nFivesparks is partnering with Snapology of Harvard\, MA to bring these fun and educational programs to our community! Snapology of Harvard\, MA is owned/operated by area parents whose family fell in love with Snapology’s methods and philosophies.  So much so\, they want to share them!  You will find Snapology of Harvard\, MA programs at Fivesparks\, in local schools and community centers around the Metro-West area. https://www.snapology.com/massachusetts-harvard/ \n________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:Snapology Winter Vacation Program: Science of Superpowers & Mega Machines Robotics
DESCRIPTION: Morning Session: Science of Superpowers\nBring your favorite superheroes to life while discovering the science behind their incredible powers!\nStudents will explore the fascinating world of forces\, energy\, and physics through hands-on building and fun experiments. They’ll design superhero models\, vehicles\, and accessories inspired by heroes like Superman\, Batman\, and Wonder Woman — all while learning about: \nFlight forces\, collisions\, and air pressure \nGravity\, friction\, and energy transfer \nScientific experimentation and problem-solving \nChildren will compare the “super” world to real-life science as they test\, experiment\, and think critically. It’s a super-powered way to make learning physics fun! \n Afternoon Session: Mega Machines Robotics\nIn the afternoon\, young engineers will take their skills to the next level with Mega Machines Robotics\, a machinery-focused program where creativity meets coding. Students will work in teams to design and program spectacular robotic vehicles using LEGO® robotics kits and Scratch-based coding. \nThrough exciting challenges\, they’ll learn how to: \nProgram and debug robotic models \nUtilize sensors\, gears\, motors\, and axles \nCollaborate effectively with partners \nFollow instructions and refine builds through iteration \nBy the end of the week\, students will not only have built amazing machines but also gained confidence in coding\, problem-solving\, and teamwork — all while having a blast! \nChildren can register for: \nMorning sessions only: Science of Superpowers\, ages 5-12\, 9am-12:00pm\, $200/participant. Click HERE to register for the morning program. \nAfternoon sessions only: Mega Machines Robotics\, ages 6-12\, 12:30-3:30pm\, $200/participant.
